what got me was when Feige was asked why civil war happened, he responded "So the avengers are not a cohesive unit moving forward into Infinity War." So it makes sense, like Nando said, you want to have characters at their worst at the end of the second act, but what rubbed me the wrong was was that the reasoning only spoke to future events. It was an argument that we need this effect so here is a cause. Nando's order in contrast gives us that the individual Avengers are feeling loss so when Civil war happens they are left separated. It reinforces a narrative based cause an effect.

[@simonegreco1958]

[@salliemckenna6668]

It’s only weird with the intro battle tho which you can easily rationalise as “well I mean it was important” the main reason he creates ultron and the drones is to create the world where the avengers aren’t needed, where he doesn’t have to be iron man so he can be with pepper, but when that doesn’t work with ultron going rogue he has to deal with that issue himself as he’s responsible for it, after that he continues being iron man leading to the issues between pepper and tony in civil war because he did choose to continue being iron man as well as why he’s so open to the accords because he still feels the weight of ultron

[@z-beeblebrox]

You know, I think I always took for granted that Civil War *was* in Phase 2, simply because in the lead up to Age of Ultron when we learned about Civil War being the next CA installment, the actors on social media made relentless jokes about why their characters might fight each other. Plus, AOU itself already establishes some fundamental disagreements between Tony and Steve that make the film feel like a Civil War pre-game show. So I definitely agree that it belongs there.

I would actually move Ant-Man to before Civil War, after Iron Man 3 and I would likewise move the end credit scene of the Avengers Assembling to the end of Winter Soldier. First, Falcon must show up in the movie as it explains how Ant-Man joins the Avengers. Second, Ant-Man specifically raids Avengers HQ, not SHIELD. It reflects that while Cap's intentions are noble, he lacks the resources necessary to run the Avengers as a global force and that leads to the problems seen in Civil War. And third, speaking of Civil War, this movie would directly lead into that movie, considering the post-credit scene has Falcon seeking Scott out, presumably because of the events of Civil War's first half.

My biggest issue with this watch order is that it makes The Winter Soldier worse. The reveal about Hydra wasn't just big because it came from within SHIELD, but because everyone thought Hydra had been wiped out. Knowing that Hydra is still out there in some form weakens the amazing reveal in The Winter Soldier. Also, I know you said you weren't talking about the TV shows, but Agents of Shield explains away your issues with Shield's presence in Age of Ultron. Shield is still very much an active (underground) organization. Coulson is the one who discovered where Loki's scepter was (info which he passed onto Maria Hill), and he also gave Fury access to Shield's last remaining helicarrier.

Tony never stopped being iron man. Iron man 3 ended with tony saying that he is still iron man. He blew up the suits because they represented his need for control that he lost when he went through that wormhole. That’s why each one is built for a different purpose with different abilities, they represent an attack he hadn’t expected, an occasion he felt he was unprepared for. A manifestation of his need for some form of control. Blowing up the suits wasn’t him giving up on iron man, it was him giving up on control and responding to threats out of fear. It’s called clean slate protocol because it’s a new start for him to be better, which he tried to do through the use of the drones to protect citizens and the creation of Ultron to protect the earth. Creating the drones wasn’t undoing the end of iron man 3. The only problem I had with this video was your reasoning for why iron man 3 should go after age of ultron.

Kinda like his plan for an Iron Man team in the anime that he has to drop at the end of episode 1.

[@childress5000]

Great points, Nando! I also like the idea of Thor 2, GotG, then Avengers 2 because it introduces the Infinity Stones in a more organic way, especially following Avengers 1 where we got the Tesseract. You could honestly probably move the Thanos post-credits scene from Avengers 2 to GotG Volume 2, since by that point, we’ve already seen 5 of the 6 stones.

[@Elliotbiddle]

Except that Iron Man 3 specifically deals with Tony's post Avengers 1 PTSD. And Jarvis is in it, who is destroyed in AoU. And in AoU Tony states that he & Potts were on a break, which isn't addressed then until Civil War, so them together in IM3 inbetween that would have no explanation. And his armour version stated in IM3 is 42, but in AoU it's 46. And there's a Fury line in AoU that the helicarrier was the last one left "pulled out of mothballs", which wouldn't be the case if before Winter Soldier...

[@caleb8676]

I disagree. Iron Man 3 perfectly sets up Tony and his headspace for AOU, The Winter Soldier also perfectly leads Cap into AOU, and Thor Dark World does as well. In Iron Man 3, Tony said he was “trimming down” the Iron Man thing, in other words NOT retiring! Age of Ultron also starts by the Avengers cleaning up Hydra after TWS so that would not only take away an entire opening action sequence that connects beautifully to TWS, but it would also keep hydra out of the picture which would mean that you would have to do MAJOR reconstruction to AOU since hydra had the scepter. Also, shield is still shut down in AOU, they literally say so early on in the film. Just because Fury had access to an old helicarrier doesn’t mean shield is still operational. Plus, in regards to your AOU opinion, Age of Ultron has better character development than the first Avengers! Less like caricatures and more like relatable humans.

[@verylostdoommarauder]

Now this is my headcanon order. As you said, you just need to imagine some lines being different and don't watch 1 post-credit scene. Although, in your version of Iron-Man 3, Tony could just be using a different AI with a Jarvis text-to-speech over it. Oh yeah, when I first saw the first two Avengers movies, I wasn't really aware of the non-Iron Man movies, so I just accepted what I was seeing. This sort of brings that back.

[@johnappels]

Age of Ultron is terrible but re: Tony’s opening contradicting the end of Iron Man 3 - an addict making some grand gesture and then relapsing almost immediately checks out way more than loads of other MCU decisions. Not saying that was a conscious choice (of course it just happens because Iron Man gotta Iron Man), but for the character it totally checks out.

[@Zenn_Chan]

I kinda wish they'd addressed it more, but you're right, it does check out, ESPECIALLY since in Civil War, Pepper and Tony are "on a break", implying she left him thanks to said relapse happening. Having her go on a break from him after the end of Iron Man 3 would probably make her look really bad

[@jayburdification]

Interesting idea but it creates more problems than it solves. It’s easier just to imagine Tony changed his mind about the suits and that’s why he and Pepper are taking a break. It’s also easier to think Fury took the helicarriers out of mothballs for insidious Fury-like reasons that he didn’t bother telling the Avengers about, i.e. S.W.O.R.D.

I recently edited alot of phase 3 movies so they flow better. I shuffled around the post credits scenes as well so they don't spoil future movies. So phase 3 goes Captain Marvel- I removed the post credits scene and added a GOTG 2 pay credits scene Gaurdians of the galaxy 2- no changes Dr. Strange- removed Thor pcs and added an antman scene. Antman - no changes Civil war- no changes Black panther- no changes Spider-Man HC- no changes Antman and the wasp- removed snap post credits scene. Inserted the Thor pcs from Dr. Strange Thor Ragnarok - no changes Infinity war - this is the big one. I edited in the snap pcs scene with Nick furry, the antman and the wasp pc snap scene and the Hawkeye death scene. I think this one flows really well I know others have done this bit I overlapped some audio from the scenes so it flows better and I trimmed down some of the additional scenes for flow as well. Endgame lastly I started the movie with the captain marvel pcs since I removed the Hawkeye scene from this movie. That's it. I think it helps with flow and feels more cohesive. I might post them someday but for now this is my preferred way to watch phase 3.

[@MegaJetty1]

I always felt that Phase 2 was a bit of a mess. Much as I like Civil War, it shoulda been an Avengers film instead of a Captain America film. Captain America 3 shoulda been based on the Nomad story from the comics. Cap witnesses a depressed U.S. President commit suicide, shaking his faith in America. He tries to cut ties to the government but they own the name Captain America so he ditches the identity to become Nomad. But then Red Skull returns and kills a kid wearing a Cap costume, forcing him to reclaim his mantle. Also Age of Ultron & Civil War shoulda been the same film, Ultron manipulates the Civil War to distract the Avengers from his scheme.

Part of the problem with Phase 2 was the story being also played out on Agents of SHIELD. They ran a whole "It's all connected" marketing campaign and a lot of the setup for Age of Ultron was done in Agents of SHIELD. The location of the bunker they raid in the opening scene was set up in AoS as well as the random helicarrier that shows up, both were long-running storylines in AoS.

[@frantictoast3741]

So you're saying for your version of this to work we have to ignore details, pretend characters aren't who they are and we have to dismiss lines characters say. It's a swing and a miss for me.

[@DrTechnoBabel]

Yeah, I agree. Machete order works because you don't have to do any of that for the story of Star Wars to work if you watch the movies in that order, since unlike here you aren't actually changing when in the overall timeline the movies take place. I usually agree with Nando's videos, and I do think he has a point that it would have made Phase 2 better if the movies were actually done in that order, but I think he really dropped the ball here by suggesting we actually watch the videos in said order and ignore everything that doesn't fit.

[@qncymrtn]

For your order to work like you said you'll have to ignore a lot, so how does that work if I've never seen the film's. If I told a new viewer your order, it would cause confusion, falcon wasn't just at the party he's at the end as a new avenger, then winter soldier he's introducing himself, just ignore the male voice of Jarvis for an entire film is ludacris and Nick Fury in AOU makes too many comments to ignore about the status of SHIELD. And there's post credit scenes and Tony's arc reactor plus just other minor things characters say. It's one thing for small inconsistencies but the level of ignore is too high lol.

[@DevNode27]

Personally, I think it's a small price to pay for a narratively cohesive and satisfying Phase 2. Obviously, you'd tell someone up-front that it's an unconventional way to watch the series, what to look out for that feels inconsistent, et cetera, so they go in with expectations that it is not how those who had made the films intended for you to watch them.
